Description of this paper

On June 30, 2002, Mendenhal Company issued 12% bonds with a par value of $817,200 due in 20 years. They were issued at 98 and were callable at 104 at any date after June 30, 2010. Because of lower interest rates and a significant change in the company's credit rating, it was decided to call the entire issue on June 30, 2011, and to issue new bonds. New 10% bonds were sold in the amount of $1,089,600 at 102; they mature in 20 years. Mendenhal Company uses straight-line amortization. Interest payment dates are December 31 and June 30.
